"We have a very good working relationship with Wälischmiller. Their technical proposals are what we call “juste de besoin”—solutions perfectly tailored to our actual requirements. In my role as the technical and contractual liaison for a French experimental nuclear reactor project, I work closely with their team. Wälischmiller is a financially reliable partner that supplies high-quality equipment. Due to the strict requirements of the nuclear industry, documentation can be demanding, but Wälischmiller is responsive and cooperative when adjustments are needed. Communication is straightforward, discussions are constructive, and we can count on their commitment and professionalism."

Oak Ridge National Laboratory

"When faced with the daunting prospect of replacing our aging dual-arm servomanipulator in our liquid mercury hot cell at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Spallation Neutron Source, Wälischmiller worked with us closely to develop a dual-arm Telbot solution that met our critical performance requirements. With design, fabrication, and testing all under one roof, Wälischmiller gave us the confidence that this new Telbot would perform as intended while mitigating the risk involved with replacement of such a critical component to our facility."

„I was involved with HWM during the installation of a power manipulator in one of our hot cells. As the installation was to be carried out in a hot cell that had been in place for several decades, one of the challenges was the interfaces between this new manipulator and the existing structures and installations. Another important challenge was the timeline. Throughout the project, HWM handled every aspect very professionally. All communication and actions took place very quickly. The installation phase also went perfectly and we are proud of a very efficient power manipulator!“

Mik Dausi | Project manager
Amentum

"Amentum commissioned HWM for the delivery of approximately 120 Manipulator Type A100 units. The delivery was organized in multiple batches, with 10 units delivered every 8 weeks. The project included the implementation of specific customer requirements for the equipment. HWM coordinated the delivery schedule and the adaptation of specifications. The equipment was delivered according to specification and subsequently installed by the customer with support from Amentum."
